Aren't photographers who shoot bats afraid of getting sick?

Photographers who shoot bats are at risk of getting sick. Bats are potential carriers of some infectious diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Ebola virus. So contact with bats is risky. Here are some precautions:

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks and goggles, to reduce the risk of direct contact with bat body fluids or excreta.

2. Try to avoid direct contact with bats, especially injured or dead bats.

Don't go into bats or caves, because diseases can easily spread there.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene and wash your hands frequently, especially after touching bats.
